Microwave-assisted C-C and C-heteroatom bond formations in aqueous medium

Abstract

In recent times, microwave assisted chemistry have gained enormous attraction in organic synthesis owing to its versatile advantages such as avoidance of harsh reaction condition, increase of yield, eliminates of by product, shorter reaction time and removal of wastages. Besides, water as a reaction medium further includes more benefit as it eliminates all the drawbacks of toxic solvent which may cause injuries for our mother earth. Furthermore C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation reactions are very significant as most of the drug as well as bioactive compounds contain heterocycles or C-hetero bond which is a key tool of chemistry. This article demonstrates the advancement on the topic of the microwave assisted C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation reactions in aqueous medium.
